[QUOTE="Rvator, post: 959331, member: 402382"] Hello again Pete. As far as I can see from the Installation/User manual there isn't a method of setting up the control box without the handset and if that's the case you're a bit stuffed without access to one. Did the previous owner say what happened to the remote control handset as the assumption is there was one originally? Keep your fingers crossed someone might have a similar system near your location or even possibly the Highbridge people could have a technician that deals with problems on the MagicSat 2002a and has one. We travel the M5 enroute to our boat so if push comes to shove as a last resort I am sure we can work something out as an interim to you either ditching all that extra weight or changing out for something different. The older type of control box where frequencies are used to accomplish antenna alignment means we are unfortunately at the mercy of the Satellite companies not changing anything. Having said that it has been possible work out what frequency change has stopped the dish from locking on and making the necessary amendment easily enough and keeping things working.
